The Rack Test System (RTS) is a high-performance testing solution that has been designed to streamline and simplify the testing of products within a variety of industries and product categories. Based on a rack-mount architecture, it integrates test instruments and system components into a unified platform. The RTS offers companies and organisations that require accurate and efficient testing of their products in a laboratory or production environment a number of advantages.

By integrating multiple test instruments into a single platform, the RTS reduces changeover times and increases test productivity, resulting in cost savings and faster product manufacturing.

The RTS is a flexible, scalable, and compact test platform. It supports multiple product types via swappable fixtures and integrates high-performance instruments such as oscilloscopes and signal generators. Automated functions boost speed, accuracy and efficiency, and there are options for production line integration. Its rack-mounted design saves space, and testing can also be performed off-site in our laboratory.

Designed to make testing more efficient and cost-effective for companies and organisations striving for the highest product quality, RTS is a powerful and versatile testing solution. Thanks to its scalable design, advanced test instruments and automated functions, the RTS is a valuable tool in sectors such as electronics, telecommunications, medical technology, automotive and industrial automation.

Like all our test systems, the Rack Test System (RTS) can be connected to our cloud-based test database (TestNet), allowing you to monitor the latest results in real time and easily extract test protocols for a specific unit. This allows you to achieve very high traceability in your production and test results. We offer customised test systems to ensure high production quality. We also develop cost-effective, standardised test systems for the MedTech and industrial sectors.

Reliable test systems are essential for ensuring the high quality of electronic components and products. The design of a test system can vary significantly depending on the product and its specific testing requirements. It has therefore become increasingly important to develop fully customised product testing systems that are tailored to meet the exact needs of customers.

With our fully customisable test systems, we can ensure they fit into your production line.

We design the test facility based on the product.

When developing a product test system, we always start with the customer’s specific requirements. This means there is no one-size-fits-all solution: each test facility is designed to suit the product or component to be tested. This flexibility enables us to handle a wide variety of products. Our system can also verify parameters other than purely electrical ones, such as pressure, flow, specific steps, movement and temperature.

Creating a fully customised product testing system begins with a careful analysis of the customer’s needs and product specifications. No detail is too big or too small. Next, our experts create a detailed design that includes everything from test procedures to software interfaces.

We take this into account when designing a complete test system.
The test procedures are developed according to the customer’s requirements and are designed to evaluate every aspect of the product thoroughly. These may include function tests, performance tests, continuity tests and much more besides. With our system, we can also verify parameters other than purely electrical ones, such as pressure, flow, specific steps and temperature.

The selection of test equipment is crucial.
A wide range of measuring instruments and test equipment is crucial to ensure accurate and reliable testing. The software that controls the test system has been adapted to facilitate communication with the customer’s system, as well as the collection of test data and the presentation of results in a user-friendly way. We also have our own software for test systems.

Automation and machine learning
Automating the testing process is often a key feature, especially when handling large volumes of testing. This may include automated sampling, report generation and remote monitoring. We can also offer image processing with machine learning for use during production tests. This allows us to verify that the wiring has been correctly assembled, the correct amount of solder has been applied and that the radiated field (electromagnetic radiation/EMC) is at the correct, approved level.

Image analysis also verifies the behaviour of any moving parts. The test system is designed with security and reliability in mind.

Once the fully customised product test system has been designed and implemented, extensive testing and quality control procedures are performed to ensure that it performs in accordance with the specifications. Among other things, we carry out clean insulation tests and earth continuity tests to ensure that the product meets all standards. If desired, we can also obtain CE approval for the test system in relation to the Machinery Directive and the Low Voltage Directive. The test facility is only put into operation once the customer is satisfied with the result.

Invest in quality and efficiency with fully customisable test systems.
These systems are a valuable investment, ensuring that every electronic component or product that goes through the testing process is of the highest standard. They ensure that every electronic component or product that goes through the testing process meets the highest standards. With our dedicated, customer-centred design process, you can rest assured that your testing requirements are in safe hands and that your products are ready to meet market demand.

We offer comprehensive manufacturing and material handling services for those who have developed their own product, whether with or without our assistance. We understand the importance of testing the market and optimising your product before entering into full-scale production. To support you in this critical initial stage, we have created a small-scale project manufacturing service, which we tailor to each customer's specific requirements.

Our product manufacturing service is designed to meet your needs when large-scale production is not yet feasible. We recognise the importance of flexibility in production and the ability to adapt to market demand. With our service, you can manufacture smaller or larger quantities at a time, allowing you to test the performance of your product and the market response before taking the step into large-scale production with our support.

Our experienced personnel and control systems ensure high-quality manufacturing and material handling. Our goal is to deliver results that will help you establish a strong market presence for your product.

There are several advantages to starting production with a limited quantity of units when launching a new product. Firstly, it allows you to test the market before committing to large-scale production. Manufacturing in small quantities enables you to obtain valuable customer feedback, identify areas for improvement and customise the product as required.

This method also minimises initial economic risks. If the product does not meet expectations or adjustments are needed, the cost of making changes is significantly lower than if you were managing large inventories. Small volumes also allow for a quicker product launch, enabling you to start generating revenue while refining the product based on customer feedback.

In summary, manufacturing according to our model at the beginning of the product lifecycle is a strategic way to minimise risks, optimise the product's alignment with the market and enable a smoother, more successful launch.
